When water travels from its source, it often picks up high concentrations of minerals along the way from naturally occurring rock formations or from old rusting pipes. A metallic or rusty look, taste and smell may indicate that your water contains high levels of iron. Iron may color water yellow, red or orange. It can also smell bad, have a metallic taste and stain laundry and fixtures. Water high in iron can also clog wells, pumps and sprinklers and severely corrode pipes and appliances, causing leaks and appliance repair or replacement. We can iron out all your water problems with an iron removal water conditioning system.

Have you discovered a reddish slime in your toilet flush tank or toilet bowl? This can often be a sign that your water contains iron bacteria. When water travels from its source, it often picks up high concentrations of minerals along the way, including iron. Water containing particularly high levels of iron can lead to iron bacteria – the culprit behind that reddish slime found in your toilet. We can iron out all your water problems. Suburban Morris removes high levels of iron from your water with our iron removal water conditioning system.

Is it nearly impossible to remove the ring left by water standing in your sink, tub and toilet? After cleaning, do greasy or grimy rings still form around the drains in your tub and sink? Are your porcelain fixtures stained and worn looking? When water travels from its source, it often picks up high concentrations of minerals along the way, creating hard water. Soap scum is formed when a white solid results from adding soap to hard water containing calcium or magnesium, which react poorly with the fatty acid component of soap. Instead of dissolving the soap, the resulting residue floats on the water and clings to the surface of your sink or bathtub, creating that nasty "ring-around-the-tub." A water softener will create soft water that easily dissolves soap and creates luxurious suds. In fact, many people accustomed to using hard water continue to use far too much soap. You may find you can reduce the amount of soap and detergent dramatically when using soft water.

Water quality is complicated. Municipal water supplies must be treated with chemicals to make the water drinkable. Chlorine and fluoride are common additives that many people prefer to remove from their drinking water. Sewage systems overtaxed by flooding, power outages, chemical spills and many other problems often compromise water sources. Bottled water, whether in single serving plastic bottles or in bottled water coolers is largely unregulated, costs hundreds of times more than other water and is causing one of the worst environmental waste problems on the planet. Refrigerator water filter pitchers are annoying to use and vary widely varied in effectiveness.

We all know water should be clear, and shouldn't smell or taste of anything unpleasant. If your water tastes or smells suspicious, we need to find out why. A few things might cause a moldy or fishy taste or smell in your water, including high algae concentrations at your water source or mold or bacteria buildup in your pipes. While not necessarily toxic, it's certainly unpleasant water to drink and to use. We're here to change that. A bacteria water purification system from Suburban Morris removes unpleasant tastes and odors from your water.

Does your water taste like chlorinated pool water? New Jersey municipalities often add chlorine to water sources to prevent waterborne contamination. While chlorine treatment does help to kill harmful bacteria at its source, it is no longer necessary once the water reaches your home and can be filtered out by installing chlorine removal systems in your home, helping to eliminate chlorine taste and odor.

Today, people spend hundreds times more than they need to for bottled water. Even so, that “convenient” water in plastic bottles is largely unregulated. Much of it is simply tap water and since water is a solvent, even new types of plastic bottles leach chemicals into the water before you drink it. The best reason of all to forego bottled water is to stop the disastrous waste it generates. There is no place on earth that plastic water bottles have not already polluted. Since plastic does not decompose for thousands of years, the problem continues to grow daily and may never go away.
Drinking water filtration, purification systems and bottleless water coolers are the solution. Provide your own endless supply of delicious filtered water effortlessly and on demand. There is a perfect system for your home or business — no more lugging and storing bottles of water, no more questionable water quality, and you’ll love the tremendous savings over the price of bottled water! Need delicious water on the go? Refill STAINLESS or GLASS LINED portable water bottles. There are many styles available at sports stores and these bottles won’t leach chemicals into your water or endlessly pollute the environment.

Your bottled water is probably labeled with a beautiful picture of a mountain stream. But 45% of bottled water sold in the U.S. is actually purified tap water, according to Peter Gleick, a scientist and author of “Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water.” Bottled water industry spokesmen say there is no problem with that because they provide convenience and compete against soft drinks, not tap water. Oops, did you know that?

Bottled water sold across state lines is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but does not apply to 60 to 70 percent of the bottled water sold in the United States because it does NOT cross state lines from where it is bottled. Think about that — where is your expensive bottled water coming from?
Many people buy bottled water to avoid the chlorine and fluoride added to municipal water. But unlike municipal water, bottled water can still be sold if it is labeled as "containing excessive chemicals" or "excessive bacteria.” The NRDC (National Resources Defense Fund) reports; “…while much tap water is indeed risky, having compared available data we conclude that there is no assurance that bottled water is any safer than tap water.”

Then there are the plastic bottles. In 2008 research proved plastic containing the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) was dangerous to health. BPA mimics the activity of hormones and can lead to reproductive disorders, breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other conditions. So BPA was banned from food packaging. But many of the replacement “BPA free plastics” have been shown to release hormone-altering chemicals known as phthalates when exposed to heat or the sun (which is why consumers are warned not to drink bottled water exposed to strong sun or left in hot cars).

What to do? Use simple, inexpensive at-home water filtration and use portable stainless or glass lined refillable water bottles increasingly available at home goods and sports stores.

Well water is increasingly impacted by pollutants. The Department of Environmental Protection recommends that people have their well water tested once a year or upon the sale of property, and The New Jersey Private Well Testing Act requires landlords using private drinking water wells to test and provide a written copy of the results to their tenants.  Learn More Here
